Of all the different categories of film, animation is the best when it comes to reflecting a…
In addition, when animals are represented as transfigured humans, both Disney films and oral folktales highlight the superiority of humans in relation to animals by conflating happiness with the restoration of the human condition. In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco regains his human form, is reinstated as emperor, and shares his wealth with Pacha and his family.

I’m 17, Silver haired, and Blue eyed. The “Fellow villagers” say that because I’m emotionless that I am the reason my parents were taken away by the government for “Testing”. I recently received a letter from a man named Uuotcha, saying he needed help…
phrase to better allow the story to become ingrained in a child’s mind. For who doesn’t recall the words little red riding hood speaks to the wolf, “Oh, grandmother what big ears you have!” “The better to hear you with.” “Oh, grandmother what big eyes you have!” “The better to see you with.” “Oh, grandmother what a horribly big mouth you have!” “The better to eat you with.” (p.99) The utterance of words or phrases repeated over and over again sticks with us, the more something is repeated,…
In conclusion, through Bluestone’s theories, film adaptations from text will never be the same. There will always be one factor or the other that causes it to be different. It is first and foremost a different art form and one that is very different. Moreover, art has always derived from other art source. For example, Gerard Rabcinan, Little Red Riding Hood(2003), Kiki Smith, Daughter (1999) in art as paintings to advertisements posters in Colombia. One similarity they all share is the motifs.…

Three Little Pigs ( The Big Bad Wolf’s Perspective ) That day was a horrible day, it was a very dramatic and sarcastic day. Those pigs had deserved what they got even though, I didn't do it. Nobody wants to listen to my side of the story. Everyone thinks I died when I fell into that pot of boiling water but, that’s a lie, a really big one. I just got burned like really bad.
